Exit polls after the election asked people their sexual orienation -- 5% said they were LGBT. So if that's the number that are willing to admit it to a pollster, the real number is presumably at least a little higher. (22% of LGBT's voted for Romney, btw).

Gay, nationally? I've read 3% to 10%. Some states like California, New York, Florida and Texas, have a huge LGBT population. Places like Utah, Idaho and South Carolina have smaller gay populations. I visited Dallas a few years ago for a conference and I thought I was in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Gay men everywhere. I was surprised. When I drove through Montana, I stopped to sleep and I stood out like a sore thumb.
